Don't Wait for Hurricane Season to Discover Life's True Meaning
As hurricane season approaches, I can't help but reflect on how much we tend to take for granted, especially when recalling the devastation of the 2005 season.
When life is smooth sailing, it's easy to appreciate the good moments. Yet, the farther I get from the last storm, the more I realize how I overlook simple joys, like a glass of water or my husband's smile.
Why do we only focus on these treasures when a crisis hits? My mother's unexpected death from breast cancer forced me to confront my own mortality. Scheduling my first breast biopsy at 35, I was relieved to find everything was fine, and I cherished every breath a little more.
Crises have a way of illuminating what we take for granted. Before Hurricane Rita, I closed my business and joined countless others in gathering life's essentials (surprisingly few) to pack into our car. My husband and I took what might have been a final look at our home, leaving behind most of our possessions.
Driving away from Houston and returning 32 hours later made me realize how much I rely on. Items we grabbed before evacuating?"canned food, bottled water?"became scarce upon our return. Gas stations, restaurants, and theaters were closed. The gratitude I felt for electricity to power my fridge and air conditioner was unexpected. Sleeping in my own bed in an intact home, I found new appreciation for the comfort that I usually overlooked. My office, my colleagues, and my friends in Houston now hold a special place in my heart.
With normalcy restored nearly a year later, maintaining that mindful appreciation is challenging. Yet, last year’s hurricanes taught me a valuable lesson: it's not enough to celebrate only the grand moments. I now strive to find joy and significance in the everyday, mundane details of life.
In honor of everyone affected by hurricane seasons, let's strive to make each day our best. Embrace every aspect of life with gratitude and live fully, every single day.
